A huge difference between me and Kristi Noem's hubby is that I'm actually trans and not a fetishist, and I'm also not a bigot against crossdressers and trans people in my public life.

I just feel normal having tits, and the thought doesn't turn me on. My brain expects me to have them, and I had sadness and distress for the longest time at not having them.

I also don't feel degraded by being a woman. It makes me happy. I felt extremely degraded living as a male.

@burnoutqueen thank you for putting this into words, I’ve been deeply uncomfortable and disappointed whenever I’ve seen accusations of hypocrisy /because of how Republicans regard trans people/. Like, no, I am not a fetish, and her husband’s behaviour has nothing to do with trans people or being trans, stop conflating us with it for a political gotcha.
